Apple Chinese vendors gets OK for India entry

Given the lack of domestic supplies, up to 12–15 Apple suppliers from China will be authorised to supply essential components.
As the media reported on December 26, Apple had contacted the Center to bring its manufacturing ecosystem to India in an effort to increase production there. Reports claim that Due to sensitivities, the government has taken a harsh stance on permitting Chinese businesses, including those currently operating in India, to receive new investments; nevertheless, an exception has been made in the case of Apple suppliers.
There were problems about letting much Chinese control of these companies that supply parts to Apple but the government decided to permit entire shareholding to be held as a special case. The concerns over the entry of other Chinese companies, however, remain and a relaxation is unlikely, sources said.
They claimed that these companies' components are essential to the entire Apple production process. In reality, several months ago, leading Indian conglomerates and companies were contacted to determine if the components could be produced domestically, eliminating the need to let Chinese firms. But with the Indians were unable to produce the desired results, the Chinese vendors of Apple are now being let in. Some of these companies, which are little known, already have a small presence in India but are now expected to ramp up operations significantly.
